02Variation sequences
The Mathematical Operators block has sixteen variation sequences defined for standardized variants. They use U+FE00 VARIATION SELECTOR-1 (VS01) to denote variant symbols (depending on the font):
| Base character | Base | +VS01 | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| U+2205 EMPTY SET | ∅ | ∅︀ | zero with long diagonal stroke overlay form |
| U+2229 INTERSECTION | ∩ | ∩︀ | with serifs |
| U+222A UNION | ∪ | ∪︀ | with serifs |
| U+2268 LESS-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO | ≨ | ≨︀ | with vertical stroke |
| U+2269 GREATER-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO | ≩ | ≩︀ | with vertical stroke |
| U+2272 LESS-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TO | ≲ | ≲︀ | following the slant of the lower leg |
| U+2273 GREATER-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TO | ≳ | ≳︀ | following the slant of the lower leg |
| U+228A SUBSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TO | ⊊ | ⊊︀ | with stroke through bottom members |
| U+228B SUPERSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TO | ⊋ | ⊋︀ | with stroke through bottom members |
| U+2293 SQUARE CAP | ⊓ | ⊓︀ | with serifs |
| U+2294 SQUARE CUP | ⊔ | ⊔︀ | with serifs |
| U+2295 CIRCLED PLUS | ⊕ | ⊕︀ | with white rim |
| U+2297 CIRCLED TIMES | ⊗ | ⊗︀ | with white rim |
| U+229C CIRCLED EQUALS | ⊜ | ⊜︀ | with equal sign touching the circle |
| U+22DA LESS-THAN EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN | ⋚ | ⋚︀ | with slanted equal |
